git log messages on the www.gnus.org front page?

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

It'd be nice to have, say, the last 10 Gnus git commit messages on the
www.gnus.org front page.  Is that difficult to do?  Does gitweb have
something that...  does that?  Like?

I've now changed www.gnus.org to point to quimby.gnus.org, but it'll
take a while for the DNS changes to spread...

Cut something out of this page:

 * http://git.gnus.org/cgit/gnus.git/log/

... or?

The easy way is with an IFRAME but it looks bad.

Another way is to ammend the post-receive hook to modify the front page
somehow, or to write to a secondary file that's included in the front
page with PHP or whatever.  It's probably easier and safer to do the
secondary file.

That reminds me, we can also have it trigger a redeployment of the
manual's HTML pages when there's a commit to the texi/ directory.  So
the page http://www.gnus.org/manual.html needs to be changed a little
bit but otherwise this is pretty easy.

That's much more expensive that a post-receive append if it's called
every time someone visits the front page.  If it's not, then we may as
well do it with the post-receive append because it's always run at
exactly the right time.

I could just write up some PHP that calls out to a gitweb page, strip
off all the stuff I don't want, and then just output the rest...

If you could write a hook that just...  let's see...  yeah, that just
does a

"curl -o /tmp/gnus-git.html http://git.gnus.org/cgit/gnus.git/log/"

on Quimby, then I can have the Gnus front page parse that from PHP.
That should be pretty safe and fast.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

Kinda like:

http://gnus.org/index.php

but with more, er, design.

However, the "8 hours" stuff gets less and less accurate as time goes
by.  So perhaps I should just set up a cron job that does the curl call
every ten minutes?  Yeah, I'll do that.

Got a 404 on that one.  http://gnus.org worked, though.

Yes, I just renamed it to index.html, since that's what things point
at.

Can you put all the web site code in the Gnus git repo so I (or others)
can make the following changes without tying you up?  Also some sort of
auto-deploy from there to the live site would be nice (I can set that up
in post-receive if you're not afraid).

Further work:

Add a link to the Git repo in http://gnus.org/resources.html

Add same link on the front page, right before the Git log table.

http://git.gnus.org/ and http://gnus.org/distribution.html have outdated
info about the Git e-mails.  The latter should just have a link to the
former instead of duplicating the information.

http://gnus.org/contrib.html should mention BBDB, org-mode, and
emacs-w3m among others

I'm not sure how to do that in git.  Can you add it to the repo?

Look in quimby:/home/tzz/gnus-html (currently a clone of the entire site
except files named "*~") and let me know if anything should not be in
the repo.  FWIW I'd keep everything, including the release tarballs.

Hm...  won't that make "git clone" and stuff quite slow?  Oh, it's not
that big.  Go ahead.

It's available in https://git.gnus.org/gnus-html.git or
http://git.gnus.org/gnus-html.git (r+w or read-only as usual).
http://git.gnus.org/cgit/ will show both repos and also
http://git.gnus.org mentions them both now.

The e-mails work too, with a different prefix.  Let me know if you're
happy with it and I'll set up a deployment script (which we can
eventually run automatically from post-receive if you want).  We also
need to work out the manual sync into the HTML repo but I'm done for
tonight :)

See http://git.gnus.org/ instructions, specifically GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
and then `git config http.sslVerify false'

This connects with the old request to get a valid SSL certificate for
*.gnus.org (at least gnus.org, www.gnus.org, and git.gnus.org) to avoid
this error.  They are free for open-source projects from GoDaddy IIRC.

Oh, I see.  I thought the "git config" thing was global, so that you
didn't have to specify the NO_VERIFY thing per project.

Now it works.

git config --global is global.  I presume so you have to
explicitly work to pollute all configurations, rather than just a
repository configuration, with extraneous bumf.
